    CraSiEla posted them for 4 years before you started posting them 3 days before they opened, ignoring the list of people who cover competitions in the postal, phone & text thread/forum where the gadget show has been listed for 6 years and ignoring the way TV comps are covered on the forum i.e. left to be covered by regular users who will arrange for someone else to cover them if they cannot.

    There is a big difference between The gadget show TV series and The Gadget Show magazine - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/show post.php?p=66484353&postcount=2 - CraSiEla is listed as posting the competitions from The Gadget Show Magazine, there is no list for regular posters for TV competitions at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5059697

    As you are well aware, there are newspapers, magazines & tv shows within that list and CraSiEla has been covering the TV competition for 4 years. Giving that comment the title of "Magazines" was just an error made when the forum was created from the thread and hasn't been corrected.

    I have updated the post to reflect that is covers tv shows as well

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=66484353&postcount=2

    This was an error on my part for only stating magazines, if you have a competition but cant see it posted can you please check the post and see if it being covered, if someone is down for it then a quick pm to ask if they are still doing it or not would be helpful, thanks :D
